(Original Air Date: 11/02/07) Dr. Phil continues his look at a teacher sex scandal that has a school and families divided in a small town in Texas. High school teacher Joelle Ogletree faces accusations of sexual misconduct with some of her male students. Joelle claims she's completely innocent but reluctantly agrees to face Matt, one of her accusers, in person. When Dr. Phil drills down into the details of the case, it's her word against his. Matt maintains that when Joelle was his high school French teacher, she came on to him. He says that as a student he received sexually explicit notes from her, but that the notes were written in code. See the encrypted messages and judge for yourself: Are they provocative or harmless? Then hear how Joelle and Matt interpret them. Plus, Matt agreed to take a polygraph test and have the results reviewed by an independent examiner. Find out what the test reveals and how Matt reacts when he hears them read aloud, as he sits face to face with Joelle. Hear both sides of this gripping sex scandal from the accuser and the accused, and judge for yourself if justice has been served. Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

Teacher, PT. 2

Utterly disgusting

For educators to take our trust and stomp on it in such a haneous inexscusable way is unbelievably and utterly disgusting. When you are entrusted with the care and education of our most precious resource for this country's future you negate that when you take advantage of someone that really does not conceive the ramifications of what they are engaging in. Don't get me wrong I am certain that there are some children under the age of eighteen that wish to argue that they understand what sex is, but I say they dont know the overwhelming emotional place of anguish that these adults are placing them in. It is unacceptable and rather the perpetrator is male or female they should be in and in my mind under the jail. This gives good teachers a bad reputation and the perpetrators should be ashamed of their rediculous behavior. Why cant these people find someone that is their age? They need to get a clue, I can guarantee you that as a home day care provider that stays home so that I can be easily accessible to my children I talk to them constantly about what is appropiate and inapprpiate interaction with anyone especially adults and If for any reason any individual especially an educator crosses the line, I will do my best to ensure that they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law with every waking breath taking moment of my life and then some.

Teachers Have to Earn Respect

I am always amazed how willing people are to place their trust in any authority figure. I had high school teachers who were abusive to their own children and any student in their classes they knew they could get away with being a bully to, how easy it is for a teacher to target the kids in their classes that parents don't have any financial resources, or are so mired in their own problems they are oblivious to the abuse their kids get at school. I attended a small rural high school in Oklahoma and had a teacher single me out for no other reason than she was a bully and my only parent was mentally ill and frequently hospitalized for mental illness. I knew if I said anything, I would have found myself in a foster home. She verbally threatened me with being corporally punished and then expelled because I had stood up to her for calling me a liar in front of my classmates. I was so upset my nose started bleeding and I had to be taken to the local clinic where the doctor advised I not be allowed to return to my class. I received a full semesters credit for a math class, but spent a good part of that semester in woodworking. Other teachers who were trying to get me to calm down so I wouldn't lose so much blood had to ask this person to leave the restroom because she followed me in and kept threatening me while I had my face in a sink bleeding profusely. Don't tell me about how teachers deserve our respect, they have to earn it like everyone else. I can easily imagine a teacher taking advantage of a student for lust, money, power or any other reason

Something's Going on!

My friend and I were at the taping of this show. We were so puzzled when we left. I think that something was definitely going on with these boys and her. The way she reacted to this boy was very odd. She showed no emotion and this boy had supposedly ruined her life with a lie. I'm not sure what exactly was going on between them, but something was. I felt sorry for her husband.

I really believe that some young bucks like to play up thier hormones. Although other teachers who look like barby dools have done it. Something inside of me tells me she is not quilty. Hopefully she can sue the guts outs ot those bastards.

Good quote

I'm only 19 years old and I just graduated from high school. Every single statement you made in that quote is 100% correct. It was very well written, and I agree with you 257%. That was very very good. It was very accurate. You spoke your mind in an honest candid way, and I think that everything you said is totally good. You said Children do not have the ability to predict the consequences of their actions. That is true. I second that and so does Dr. Phil. And Dr. Phil will see that. I know she did it. She wont admit to it, but she did it. There are teens who will argue your opinion. Im a teen, and I wont argue you, i will agree with you. Nicely done, from Cheer.

YOUNG GUNS VS VIAGRA

There have been many times I have screamed at the TV because something that seems so obvious to me never gets discussed. Those BOYS - 14/15 year old boys are lying!

While not 'proud' to say that I willingly began engaging in sex at 14 (I'm female) - I did so with 5 boys over a period of 3 years. The youngest was 14, the oldest 18. And guess what? EVERY ONE OF THEM "lost their load" so to speak after just a few strokes of my hand on their penis during the beginning of a relationship. I finally discovered that I needed to have them masturbate before we 'engaged' in sexual activity. Otherwise 'nada' for me.

And it's not just 14 year olds either. I can still tease an eager 25 year old guy to the point that a little 'dry humping' will get the desired results within minutes.

The boy on the telephone today (Thursday 11/1/07) described his encounters with the teacher without ever saying he ejaculated. I'm sorry, but if she was so 'very sexy and flirtatious" and that boy didn't get his rocks off within seconds of her hand rubbing his penis??? And on three separate occassions no less? Unbelivable. The mother's of these boys and others like them need to check under their mattresses for the PENTHOUSE FORUM magazines. And tell the boys to notice that 95% of the 'tales' submited are done so by men.
